  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001652",
  "term": "Carbonothioyl-mediated radical polymerization",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A controlled radical polymerization technique that employs carbonothioyl compounds, such as dithioesters or trithiocarbonates, as reversible chain transfer agents. This method allows for the synthesis of polymers with well-defined molecular weights and narrow polydispersities. It is a specific type of reversible-addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization.",
